Apparently that comment was so inflamatory that it required a rage. I dont get it.

Hard mode progression lol. Im playing fantasy football now so im assuming its not april anymore.

There is essentially only 1 difference between sents and maras. A sentinel keeps 30 stacks and never uses them. A mara will always spend them on PREDATION. Who would be in favor of maras getting an aoe knockback?

I wonder if people spent as much effort learning to kill something as they did skipping/cheating would there not be so many incredibads. BTW, Aggro drop on merc/commando dosent work. Neither does undying rage/guarded by force

In order for the higher dmg proc relics to be more effective than the lower dmg proc ones you need some sort of armor pen as well as having the armor debuff. So arsenal/smash/deception/carnage etc should use Cerulean nova or kinetic tempest. A dark radiance or elemental trans could be better for a sniper but bioware has them BOTH dealing force dmg for some inexplicable reason. Short answer: Snipers do not have a suitable dmg proc relic so SA/BA is our best (and only) option.

You must remain still and channel it. Thus any knockback or or physics that move our stun you will interrupt it. It is immune to hard interrupts ike disruption, force kick, distracting shot etc...

I did NM dread guards on my commando about 100 times before downing it and was executing a near flawless rotation towards the end. Did NM dreadguards on my sniper and messed up rotation severely about 6 times in the fight and pulled 180 more dps on the sniper.

We are still on the first set of gear tiers in 2.0 also. So to answer your question, no I dont remember having 110% acc and 75 surge in rakata gear because it was an impossibility. Besides, isnt this post about alacrity?

Make that 2/5 NiM TFB. Dread Guards down 7-31. Op IX, Kephess and more coming soon.

If you think that means anything will be done, let me know when you hit lvl 25 on your first toon. Ill buy you a mount.

One thing i did when i used to play watchman which was pre 2.0 was when i had 2 stacks of the OS dot up id use blade storm (yeah blade storm). Reason being is that it would not add the 3rd stack and refresh the dot and OS would come back off cd before the 3 stack dot ran out. This allowed me to keep the OS dot up for 2 straight OS cycles but would only work every other time. No idea if this is still possible or even desirable. Just my .02.

My guild, which borders on casual/hardcore, is still in the top 20 on the official progression thread despite being 1 and 2/3 of 5 in NiM TFB. While the Dreadguards are admittedly easier now, i don't think there's gonna be a rash of guilds downing it now. In all 3 configurations the fight was and remains to be very difficult. IMO going from 10 to 20 guilds able to down a fight is not exactly "catering to the casual." That being said, mad props to all the guilds who were able to complete this encounter in its original release.

I like Tacos.
